Did you log out and log back in?

Yes, I've even rebooted and still no change.

Remember though, it does not group the Taskbar buttons unless the Taskbar is
filled with multiple application windows of many opened applications. What
you want it to do is group a single application even when the Taskbar is not
filled. The group option in Vista Taskbar properties does not do that.

You're right! That is what I want it to do. I just tested it and it took 8
windows before it kicked into "grouping" mode. I wish there was a tweak
(like the old days) where you could specify it. Thanks for your help.

There is a tweak.
Go to Start and type: regedit.exe in the search box. In the results,
right click regedit.exe and select the Run As Administrator option.
In the registry editor, navigate to the following Key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced
In the right side pane, right click an empty spot and select New / D-WORD
(32-bit value).
Name the new Value: TaskbarGroupSize (Case sensitive)
Double click this new value.
In the Edit dialog, type a 2 in the Value Data line.
Click OK.
Exit everything and reboot the computer.
This will cause the Taskbar to group the buttons when there are 2 or more
applications opened in the same program.
